Shopping for a new Skinsuit

With my beloved Red and Blue Spidey skinsuit all busted up and in Mexican Rehab, I'm in the market for new skinsuits.

It's funny how quickly you start to embrace the skinsuit once you do make the switch from floppy shorts and rec skates to custom inline racing skates. I was also shocked by the subtle mental impact of wearing it... it really helps you to feel like a racer if you look the part as well. I mean if you are going into public and skating around the MGT or Hamilton Beach in it, you'd better be skating fast right?

I thought I would only ever need one or two, but given the number of times I will be skating during any given week, as well as needing to have an extra couple that I keep in Oakville when I'm crashing at Jen's place, I find myself needing to buy a couple more.

I had previously purchased my two signature Spiderman skinsuits from All Sport Skinsuits last year, but there website looks to have been taken down.

I'm tempted by the Superhero Skinsuits by JMC Gear that Peter pointed out to me last year.





Although the new Il Peloton Skinsuit certainly has that "Batman Begins" look to it...



I already have a Bad Duffy skinsuit on order.

Spiderman Skinsuit!!!

I've been wearing a Spiderman Cycling Jersey to most of the inline events I attended last year.

My friend Kevin Noh just sent me the link to a Spiderman Inline Skinsuit



Also the Black Spiderman Costume variation!


If it comes in adult sizes, I am totally ordering this.
